    and crassly I have to admit that Rikka’s character design is an anime dream come true for me

    That was me with SSSS.Dynazenon: It’s as if Yume’s designed around the Jirai Kei aesthetic. Hairclips on guys are very rare, but boy, it does look good on Yomogi.

      Funny that you mentioned it - I just tracked SSSS.Dynazenon down because I’d about decided that it was going to be next after Ping Pong, since I keep thinking about it and I need answers.

      It’s a sort of perversely attractive universe. As I mentioned, Gridman, to me, had this constant underlying air of cruelty and mean-spiritedness. And the parts that stood out in contrast - like Rikka’s interactions with both Anti and Akane - weren’t so much positive as just not quite so negative. But somehow it drew me in anyway.

      Jirai Kei aesthetic

      And that’s exactly on point - just what I should’ve expected.

      Yeah - Dynazenon is next.

        I recommended Takopi’s Original Sin to SSSS.Gridman’s MAL entry for a reason. If you haven’t seen it, consider queuing it after Dynazenon (and Gridman Universe).
